Marking 25 years since the blockbuster Whoopi Goldberg movie, Forest Musical Theatre Company brings Sister Act to the Kenneth More Theatre stage next week.

The musical follows the hilarious adventures of Deloris Van Cartier, a disco diva whose life takes an unexpected turn when she witnesses a murder.

Under protective custody she is hidden in the one place she won’t be found – a convent. Disguised as a nun and under the watchful eye of Mother Superior, Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices and she unexpectedly discovers her own.

The leading role is played by Stella Betton, who is a singing teacher and leads a gospel choir. She landed the role after seeing an advert on Facebook.

The show, at the theatre in Oakfield Road, Ilford, runs from Thursday, November 9 to Saturday, November 11. Tickets are available at www.kmtheatre.co.uk or by calling 020 8553 4466.

Having a brand new kitchen is something that lots of people want but can only dream of. Sadly keeping up to date and making our living spaces as nice as they can be is a costly and incredibly stressful business. Even a fresh coat of paint makes all the difference but isn’t easy or quick.
